And still, a nothing burger. Also… he stated Bakich raised his arms to “incite the crowd.” Was that not after he was ejected and walking back to the dugout?

At that point in the game Bakitch had had enough from that miserable crew. I applaud him for not going off on them well before then. That crew should never be allowed to work another baseball game, let alone a Super Regional.

Dude desires a spotlight like no other ump, outside of Angel Hernandez.

Sure looked like the ump was the aggressor in that conversation from the very beginning. His actions ratcheted up the intensity then he tosses the coaches. I thought the umps were supposed to try to de-escalate the situation, not provoke it.

Yes, Bakich raised his arm AFTER the ejection.

Crew chief lied. I was there.

Baseball umpires think they are gods!

In trouble for lying about the reason Bakich got ejected.

Came out quickly to try and hide their bias and poor officiating. If you have nothing to hide, you say nothing. Coming out trying to defend their calls in less than 24 hours substantiates their guilt.

Why no action when UF #4 threw his bat from batters box across home plate and right hand box towards his dugout after his homer? I think we all know the answer. Biased officiating comes to mind!

This umpire crew is thin skinned weak and insecure.

They should spend their time doing PR for the Kardashians or find something where they get a lot of press.

Good umpires and referees don’t get any press. We typically don’t even know they are there.

This crew is a foursome of pathetic wannabes.
